'rlhie invention pertainh` to saw-Sets and it has for it'S object, among.;l others, to provide a simple, yet ellieient and durable Sawset, portatile in its nature and so eonntrueted as to be i-nade to oeeupy a` minimum space so that it may he earried around tiroin plat-,e

't f* a n l Htatee, residing at f to place without; inconvenience.

` Another ohjeet oi the invention is to pro- Vide n eiinple, light'. durable eaw-set easily operated and enpatite ot application to saws ot different varieties and to Saws havingl teeth o ditt'erent sizes.

It has tor a further object lo provide a simple and eliieientt'orin of ,trage `tor regulatini;if the depth ot set, ot the teeth and serving further as a guide for the operator.

@ther oliijeets and advantagesot the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel iteatures thereot will tie partieulnrly pointed out in the appended elaine.

The invention is elenrly illuatriiled in the aeeoinl'ianyiiigf drawings, whieh with the nunie'rals oit ie'lierenee marked thereon torni a part oit the:l Speeitieation. and in which,

Figure l is an edge elevation ot my im proved sawlset ready 'tor use. Fig. f3 is a View at rigi'ht angles to Fig. l, AQhowing one ineinher onlyvv ot the emv-net. Fig. t) i5 a 'fare `View ot one nieinher ot' moditied torni. litigi', it is a Substantially central longitudinnlfseetion through one of the ha ndlee. Fig. l5 is a tace VView ot` one of the plates. Fig. t3 is a tnee View ot' the detachable handle. Fig. 7 ViS an elevation of the adjustable ginge plate removed, Fig. 8, is a top plan View of the device.

Like numerals ot reference iinlieate like parte throughout the several vie-wils.

Referring' to the drawings. l denignatee a plate havingr on one side a longitudinal dove-tailed ieeene 2 in 4whieh is designed to he engaged the dove-tailed member 3 ol' the handle portion -l-. This Yforint; means tor detaeli'ingf the handle portion 4 when de sired for paekinn or 'tor nl'iipinent. l l

'.the o'ppoeite tace ot' the plate l is provided with a Series; of knuokles: or the like t3,-

eeen eletti-ly :in Figs. SZ and i5, said knuekleS having longitudinal bores ne seen at7 :t'or a purpose which will Soon he made apparent.

V4)zieh meinlier at the longitudinal eeiitei thereof at points opposite the knueklee on tlie other nieinlier is provided. with a halved out or out away portion T" as i-een elearly in Fig. So an to reeeivo one ot' the opposing knuekles So as to -torni a roller or rocker hearing there't'or iso as to provide ense ot' movement ot the parts. tlpon the opposite Sidey of the noting' taee ot these members t there are tooth-like portiousi 8 and t), those upon the one edge heine' larger than those upon the other, as seen clearly in Fig. 3,5oas to adapt the set` t'oi' use in eonneetion with dill'erent l@ized teeth ot sanne. lheae toothlike portions may he integral with the plates upon l'ioth Sitten or tneeS as Seen in l"ig.l3 or the one side 8 may be formed integral with the plate while the other side 9 may he formed separate troni the plate t and eeeured thereto hy Suitalile menue a5 screws or the like iti, pansintr through openings lt in Said integral platee; or in lQoine inetanees the teeth upon hoth edges may he l'oi'med in separate pieees and Seenred to ninin platee similar to the detaehahle plates just desierilietl` and shown iii Figs. fi and tn this inodited l'oini the teeth upon opv ponite t'aees or edges ot the plate may he ot the saine or ot dilterent sizes as may lie ilonnd most desirable.

i'he Set is' made up ot two elements Snell as justI deaerihed, eaeh element, being' the saine in structure exeept that the kauekles o't the one are so disposed an to he reeeived within the spaee l() between the knuekles ot` `the other, and when these knucklesarealiued the two members are pirotallv united at their center hy means ot the pivot rod or holt; l'l, passed through all ot the horen4 ot' the knuckles as will lio readily understood upon reference to Fig. t, said rod or looltI then i'eeeiving a nut'. or holt; t2 to prevent its disengagement and forming also a detaeliing,l means, should sueh lie necessary.

lVhen anseinhled the parts appear as seen in Fig'. l, the Saw is; then plared between the adjacent `l'aeeel ot either the upper or lower edge ot' the ineinliei-S. neeordingr to the niza ot' the teeth ol the naw, and then hy moving one ot' the tooth-like ineinbers hy means ot the handle portion or portions,t1he teeth ot' the Saw will he Het; in a well known manner. llie tootlielike members 8 and t) of the two plates are disposed so asfnot to .will be disposed opposite'the space between the teeth o the opposing tooth-like member whereby better vresulte are obtained in the operation of the device.

13 are gages provided with slots 14 adapted to receive set screws 1 5, which pass ythrongh the slot andl screw into the end of the plate. By. loosening these screws the gages may be raised or'lowered and swung into a proper position so as yto gage thedepth the saw teeth may e allowed to enter the set.
